Stop the madness. She ran great today, the track certainly helped. But that does not take away from everyone else. She beat at least 2 great ones and I think Close Hatches is going to be great....

The funny thing is, if Royal Delta would have won, this bias crap would have been a none issue. The fact that Beholder ran back to her Breeder's Cup figure for last year, means nothing. Why not give Mandella credit for having one ready in his backyard.

She rode a bias and has not beat anything this year, thats my take from many of these posts.

Proves to me who the smarter conditioner is.. Gave her a good rest after the Oaks and two nice preps. Ah showed up and destroyed them on the day that counted. She won't get 3 yr old filly of the year even though she has done something no other filly has done by winning the juvinile and distaff. So much for playing it smart.

Nor does she deserve it. She's an incredible talent, but there are a lot of days that count during the year. Not just Novemeber 1st.

While she was in the barn, Princess of Sylmar was winning stakes on all of the other days that count.

Sorry to disagree, BEHOLDER will win 3yr old filly crown hands down, 4 grade 1 wins, but more importanly 2 against older fillies, and SHE is CHAMPION from last year, Hard to dethrone The Champ, when The Champ has a year like this, if POS had skipped this race, it would be a close contest, BUT she did not and got her ass handed to her............sorry both are good, but The Champ was not knocked out, she destroyed this field....I'm just saying....
